At the Harvest Festival about offshore wind energy

The District-Municipal Harvest Festival in Swołowo on the grounds of the Museum of Pomeranian Folk Culture, was the largest in the region. Equinor and Polenergia prepared attractions related to offshore wind and renewable energy sources for the event’s participants. For investors, it was an opportunity to meet with the residents of the region where the Baltic offshore wind farms will be implemented and provide them with information about the benefits of offshore wind energy development in the Baltic Sea. Representatives of the companies answered questions from numerous visitors to the stand. Popular among them was the workshop “Forest Gardens in Glass”, during which, under the guidance of an experienced gardener, they could create a small forest or garden in a jar and then take this composition home. Children had fun with educational crossword puzzles, wind chimes, and coloring books related to green energy.

The presence of Equinor and Polenergia at local events in municipalities where offshore wind farm projects will be implemented reflects the companies’ strategy to ensure that the investments are made transparently and in a way that benefits both the environment and the community. Therefore, the investors try to visit the region as often as possible.

During regular meetings with residents, representatives of the investors present the current status of work on the Baltic 2 and Baltic 3 projects. The developers already have a set of all the necessary construction permits and are currently carrying out preparatory works on the building of the onshore substation, including the access road to it. They plan to start construction work later this quarter.

The service base for the Baltic 2 and Baltic 3 offshore wind farms will be located in Łeba. About 100 specialists will find long-term employment there, responsible for technical maintenance of offshore infrastructure and equipment, as well as supporting operations from land.

Those interested are invited to regular information meetings and the Baltic Offshore Wind Farm Information Center in Łeba. This is Poland’s first year-round information and education point on offshore wind energy. One of its most important tasks is to spread knowledge about the projects implemented in the Baltic Sea by Equinor and Polenergia. The facility, located in the center of Łeba, provides comprehensive information about investments, regional benefits, job opportunities, and educational paths.
